00:01thank you jeremy happy friday to everybody out there you're listening to valenia rico show here
00:06on 97 one honored to have sitting across from me a man i normally see across from the glass
00:13i got david hull i got brendan shabath i got paul sarah let's go people the funniest thing
00:21to happen look we're gonna get into a topic that we've been thinking about doing for a little bit
00:28and it's on which gm do you need to hear from but some news happened today so let's talk about
00:34it
00:36tigers scratched casey mize from the start tonight in lieu of a possible potential trade
00:44my question to you guys and the question to detroit at 248-539-9797 is the is this the biggest
00:51move
00:51that they're going to make or is this a precursor to maybe a bigger move with scoble because
00:58trust me i'm almost ashamed to admit this guys i had two long conversations with jeff reager this
01:06morning uh he he called me the first mistake and then he calls me again no hey hey hey hey
01:12hey hey
01:13hey hey hey hey hey jeff calm down this is gonna happen this is gonna happen what i am saying
01:22is
01:23tonight is what what you do when you put somebody that's gonna be traded you you take them out of
01:28the rotation you put them in bubble wrap and you set them off to the side i didn't get that
01:33when
01:34scoble pitched not only the scoble pitch he could have been taken out of the game earlier because you
01:38had this gigantic lead they didn't they left him in there and oh it's to show other teams what he
01:43could do he's a two-time cy young award winner you know exactly what he can do you know that
01:48he's
01:48healthy you know that he's back that game was to showcase him i think that game was for detroit to
01:53say hey we're making a push you bring up max clark that tells me we're making a push what you're
01:59doing
01:59right now tells me we're about to trade him so i look at it as this is just something for
02:07casey
02:07my eyes he he's gonna get traded i don't know what you're gonna get i don't think you're gonna
02:11get the same type of a haul because scoble is worth a lot more but this is their way of
02:17starting
02:17to sell off some pieces maybe you see glaber torres thrown into the mix in the next few days
02:23but i still don't believe that scoble is going to be dealt in and it's getting to the point now
02:31bob nightingale spoke and he said as of last night detroit had not informed any teams formally
02:38that scoble was even going to be available so i know there's all the rumors and speculations john
02:44palmarosi joined the morning show and and and we'll get to some of his cuts a little bit later on
02:50in the
02:50show but he's feeling like 70 the scoble's going to be gone i'm still saying i'm still leaning towards
02:59the tigers are showing me he's staying max clark coming up here says we're going to make a push for
03:06the playoffs we got the a's coming up let's hope that we can shrink that four and a half point
03:10uh deficit i mean four and a half game deficit but my this is what happens when you are ready
03:17to
03:18trade a pitcher you yank him you wrap him in bubble wrap you set him off to the side because
03:24you don't
03:25want anything to happen to him and david when he when when scoble went out in the seventh inning and
03:31was
03:31like no no don't take me out that was all the confirmation that i needed that this he's going
03:37to ride this until the wheels come off at the end of the year and at the end of the
03:40year maybe they
03:41have some type of a good faith agreement that i won't ice you out of negotiations i'll tell my agent
03:48to play nice and play fair but i look at this and i see mys mys maybe like i said
03:56maybe glaber because
03:58you know teams can use a right-handed bat but i don't see scoble being a part of the trade
04:03deadline
04:04two four eight five three nine nine seven nine seven what what do you think uh see the information
04:10um regarding mys being scratched from the day uh i find it a little bit interesting um because it is
04:17exactly what you said i believe it is they they couldn't keep him pitching he's coming off leaving
04:24the game early against the angels then he did pitch against the royals but he has a history
04:28of uh injury issues so you cannot pitch him again you already showed he's healthy he played after
04:36coming out that game he came back he's healthy so you cannot pitch him i'm i'm i'm really caught up
04:43on the scoble thing because i'm going i'm wavering back and forth on this yesterday i believe he wasn't
04:49getting dealt that's what i believed yesterday today with all the news coming out yes they still
04:54have an informed team according to reports um but i just have a feeling today that he's getting
05:01traded i just feel it just that he's gonna get traded today he's gonna get traded this weekend
05:07see i think the closer it gets to monday the more if he's gonna get traded i think it's gonna
05:13happen tonight i don't think you're gonna let this thing linger into saturday and sunday and i
05:18really don't think it's only in movies you get to do that last second deal hey i got this great
05:23deal and you don't put the package together right interesting enough if the dodgers are the team
05:30that mize goes to that tells you we got tired of waiting we're gonna take the burden hand because
05:38you don't know what you want to do right and i think that's going to happen for a lot of
05:42teams david
05:43and that's why the teams are ready they're prepared they want to make a deal they do but
05:49according to bob nightingale if the tigers aren't ready really ready to do that i gotta start looking
05:55at plan b because i'm not going to be sitting here getting caught my pants now like okay we went
06:00all in
06:01for a player that they never put out on the market so when you start seeing other pitchers getting taken
06:07and like i said i'm interested to see where mize ends up because if it's going to one of these
06:13big
06:13boy teams then that tells another reason yeah we're gonna take mize because we can't take school
06:20ball while we were scouting school but we also looked at mize as well so maybe you won't get the
06:25same hall you're not gonna oh no you're not gonna get anywhere near the same hall for mize but i'm
06:29looking at hey maybe if you between mize and if you trade away glaber maybe you can get three
06:35prospects and hope that one of them pans out i just i just feel today waking up again it's different
06:42from yesterday i just feel like all the news about the brewers all the news about the dodgers all the
06:49news about the cubs being involved and just waiting on the answer from the tigers i just feel this morning
06:55and today that he is going to be dealt i think he's going to be dealt by sunday um you
07:01have another
07:01pitcher out there for the mets freddie peralta's out there people believe oh it's the
07:05mets problem is why he's struggling right now the brewers are talking about that as well in case
07:10they don't get scoobal um but i think he gets dealt i think scoobal gets dealt by sunday yeah the
07:15mets have pretty much made it known we're just having a fire sale correct come make us an offer
07:19peralta who anybody wherever you want we can make it happen you could go i don't care if you're in
07:25a
07:25division give us back something and we'll make this happen but as far as the tigers go
07:32my's kind of tapped on the shoulder hey we're gonna go ahead and scratch you we'll do a bullpen
07:37day against the uh a's and we'll see what happens i'm gonna be interested to see what if he gets
07:44dealt because i do think he's gonna get dealt where what team because it's gonna tell me a lot
07:50of whether teams have just gotten fed up in waiting for the tigers they don't look like a team that's
07:56motivated to to to make the move i would have been working on this scoobal deal if it were me
08:01if i'm
08:02scott harris weeks ago i'm every day i'm i'm leaking stuff out there well you know the dodgers are
08:09offering two of their top 25 two of the top 25 players in minor league they're offering this they're
08:15offering that but wait wait oh look at what milwaukee's offer i'm gonna play them off of each other
08:20so that i can get back this gigantic hall if i'm scott harris doing this at the last second
08:28i don't know i think the closer it gets to monday the less likely the deal happens i'm i'm i'm
08:36going
08:37to i'm going to lean in the paul sarah direction paul sarah has been searching and searching and
08:42searching for it was pistons deals he's searching for new for the tigers and it just doesn't make sense
08:50not to trade scoobal and i'm leaning on that i'm leaning on that and i'm going to stick with that
08:56i'm not going to waver i'm not going to change my mind it doesn't make sense to not trade them
09:00they're trading them and it's going to be done by sunday i believe that they have to they it doesn't
09:06make any sense for them not to does it we could end up rico could end up walking in on
09:10monday
09:11afternoon at six or tuesday and giving us tinfoil hats to wear but it just doesn't make any sense
09:16it's no no it because it's what you want to see i'm going by the evidence that is presented
09:23and anybody who says no you got to trade them i'm not mad at you and please don't be mad
09:29at me
09:29i believe he should be traded for the people in the back he should be but i'm looking at the
09:36evidence
09:36and the tigers are not showing me that they are trying they are motivated they they are seduced by this
09:45four and a half out of the wild card the max clark thing really had me believing oh they're trying
09:53to win right now we'll figure out the off season when the off season gets here i like to be
10:00wrong
10:00i really would i really hope you are the evidence shows me and i look at the history scott harris
10:06not really that aggressive when it comes to the trade deadline he tried once with the dodgers
10:11it didn't work and he kind of backed away ever since and really hasn't tried that hard he got
10:22he got how you leave he got how you leave he got a trade done and he got a player
10:27in return that is
10:29contributing so i'm going with you know what david i'm leaning in you're that one trade i'm leaning in
10:35now you have that all right 248-539-9797 we'll get your calls next brendan i'll get you coming right
10:42out the gate 97 one
